2. Growler (electrical device) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growler_(electrical_device)

   Growler (electrical device) A growler is an electrical device primarily used for testing a motor for shorted coils. A growler consists of a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core and connected to a source of alternating current. When placed on the armature or stator core of a motor the growler acts as the primary of a transformer and the ...

3. Power tool - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_tool

   Power tool. A power tool is a tool that is actuated by an additional power source and mechanism other than the solely manual labor used with hand tools. The most common types of power tools use electric motors. Internal combustion engines and compressed air are also commonly used. Tools directly driven by animal power are not generally ...

4. Electric machine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_machine

   Electric machine. In electrical engineering, electric machine is a general term for machines using electromagnetic forces, such as electric motors, electric generators, and others. They are electromechanical energy converters: an electric motor converts electricity to mechanical power while an electric generator converts mechanical power to ...

5. Electric motor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

   An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric ...

6. Line shaft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_shaft

   A line shaft is a power-driven rotating shaft for power transmission that was used extensively from the Industrial Revolution until the early 20th century. Prior to the widespread use of electric motors small enough to be connected directly to each piece of machinery, line shafting was used to distribute power from a large central power source ...
